Could a better blood pressure cuff replace needles?
NCT ID NCT07684859
First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) measurement method in adults who already have an arterial line in place. The goal is to see how well the cuff-based readings match the direct arterial measurements. Participants must be 18 or older and have an arm or thigh that fits the device cuff.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to more accurate non-invasive blood pressure monitors, reducing the need for invasive arterial lines.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage accuracy study, not a treatment trial. The new method may not prove reliable enough to replace current standard care.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age requirement: 18 and over. * Have an upper limb (right OR left side) that fits the cuff size of the device (circumference ranging 17 cm to 40 cm) OR have a thigh (right OR left side) that fits a cuff size of the device (circumference ranging 38 to 50 cm). * Have an arterial line as a standard of care, which measures blood pressure at the aortic root. * Able to provide written informed consent. * Expected to remain in the unit for the duration of the study procedure. Exclusion Criteria: * Have previously participated in this study (no subject may participate more than once). * Pregnant and lactating women per site standard of care. * Subjects with peripheral arterial diseases (causing left/right arm difference). * Subjects with complications, who is on vasoactive agents at discretion of the PI. * Exhibited injuries, deformities, intravenous lines, or other abnormalities that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may prevent proper cuff application or functioning. * Are suffering from infection(s) or immunocompromised patients that require isolation. * PI or designee decision due to subject health conditions
